Searching for ET With Pete Worden

Are we alone? The nearly sixty-year effort to answer that question has gotten a big boost from the Breakthrough Initiatives, funded by Yuri Milner and led by former NASA Ames Research Center director Pete Worden, who is our guest this week. Planetary Society Digital Editor Jason Davis has written an outstanding overview of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. As we look and listen to the skies for ET, Bruce Betts keeps us up on where our own family of planets is. He joins Mat for another What’s Up segment and a new space trivia contest.
